  • Title: Odontoid hypoplasia presenting as torticollis: a discussion of its significance.
    Author: Westermeyer RR.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 2003 Jan; 24(1):15-8. PubMed ID: 12554034.
    Abstract:
    Odontoid dysplasias are considered rare but are becoming increasingly recognized. Patients may have no symptoms, localized neck pain, or neurologic symptoms. Because patients with odontoid anomalies have the potential for craniovertebral instability, recognition of the entity is essential. A discussion of the axis, its development and anomalies follows.
